Rob Gonda's AjaxCFC Library: Important News

Now that Rob Gonda has officially volunteered…er I mean asked me to join the AjaxCFC team, its time get this badboy updated.

Here are some immediate things that we're doing:

  • We're going back to calling the library AjaxCFC instead of AjaxCFC for jQuery or AjaxCFC for DWR. This is more of a consistency thing.
  • AjaxCFC is currently using jQuery v1.1.2, two releases behind the current v1.1.4. With jQuery v1.2, along with the new jQuery UI effects library, coming out VERY soon, we're more inclined to wait to update AjaxCFC until these libs are out the door. If you feel that you ABSOLUTELY need a version of AjaxCFC using jQuery v1.1.4, let us know and we'll weigh the benefits. Supporting two different versions of jQuery isn't ideal, especially for such a small project but if there's a real need, we'll consider it.
  • This is a BIG one. This will be the last release of AjaxCFC to contain DWR code. All DWR code will be deprecated to help improve maintainability, consistency and stability.

We're really looking forward to your feedback on this. I know there was mention of MG:U integration and we're definitely open to that. Also, considering that Rob is part of the ColdBox team, there may some work done to integrate with that as well.

Again, please let us know what you want and we'll see how we can accommodate it.
